3.2 Conflict of Interest

It is the policy of the Georgia Institute of Technology that all Financial Conflicts of Interests (FCOI) will be managed, reduced, or eliminated in accordance with Federal Regulations, State law, and Institute Policy. In order to ensure timely management and reporting of FCOIs, every Employee of the Institute, including all who participate in outside professional activities and/or sponsored research must complete an annual disclosure using the online Conflict of Interest system (eCOI), which is available at https://ecoi.research.gatech.edu. In answering the eCOI questions, if an Employee has indicated an actual or potential conflict, the system will notify the COI Office for review. Employees must update their disclosures on an ongoing basis when circumstances change. This includes receiving prior approval before engaging in any outside professional activity.
